Botanical Interests® Lettuce Butterhead Australe Organic -500mg
It's hard not to love this easy-to-grow lettuce. The stunning bright green leaves are dusted with almost iridescent bronze tips. "Australe" reminds us of a cross between a traditional butterhead due to its buttery texture and a mini romaine because of its upright growing habit. Harvest as baby greens around 21 days or as a full head at 55 days.
